Help me reach E status, 850 miles short...

Planning a trip to Asia in November, is there anything I can take between BKK and KUL or SIN that will earn me points at a decent value? My other option is a VIE-IST mileage run by Dec 31st but with the now 25% miles V fare it won't give me enough miles :/

How about something like BKK-CNX-BKK same day in business class for 207-223 EUR (Sep 1 used as a sample date), C fare earns 150% miles flown, i.e. 738mi * 1.5 = 1107

Good suggestion. I-ve done this route several times in the last year. For some reason TK Miles and Smiles credits 548 miles for each sector in C.

Chiangmai is too nice to simply use for a mileage run. Probably you-re already planning to include it in your November trip to Asia: but if not, it-s worth at least a few days. The weather should be nice in November and pretty cool at night.

Thanks guys, my one problem is that I have a flight with TG which involves a third strike so I'm afraid to take them in case they deny boarding once I arrive in BKK :/

My destination is Singapore, would LOVE to see CNX but not enough time :/

Wilko,

If you have time in BKK, TK has a good oportunity between BKK-SGN for MR in same day with TK68/TK69.

Semi-Flex ticket r/t (2x500mi) for 159 or J (2x1600mi) for 285.

I 'll try this route in couple of weeks for qualify my E+ status.

If you want to run, make sure it's TK OP flight because otherwise you might have trouble registering the miles into your M&S account. Our AC flights back in June have not been credited.
